Formally The Skybank nighclub, Hooligans opened on August 31, 2015 and is a privately-owned restaurant whose owners wanted to launch something unique in downtown Barrie. They were looking to open a joint that is accessible to both young families and tourists; a place where they could enjoy and spend some relaxing moments enjoying sporting events. Thus, was born the Hooligans which houses the biggest screen north of Toronto.

All food items in the joint are made in-house daily including, soup, sauce, and dessert. A variety of food items including nachos, burger, steak, soups, and salad are served daily. The interiors are done in rustic charm with brick walls and a lot of reclaimed wood.

Hooligans is located at 66 Dunlop St, Downtown Barrie. The rooftop of the restaurant offers a stunning view of the Kempenfelt Bay which is one of the reasons why Hooligans is so popular with the locals.
